l' claim as my invention:

l. ln combination with the main spring, erle enel Aperen of 'an automobile, e lever having c. link portion which is directly pivolallf] connected no the perch and to *che main Spring and which is substantially normal to the main spring, and springs acting in both directions on such lever to reeillently oppose rlicturning thereof in either direction. f

ln coinbinaon with the main Spring, axle, and perch of nn automobile, a. lever clirectly pivotally connected 'to both ille perch incl the main spring, ancla plurality or' sepesprings ucing betiveen opposite ends of said lever and the axle lo oppose its move nient in either. direction.

B. ln combination with t'lie ninin spring unil :zxle or' :in nuloinobile, i lever flirecly pivoiell to pointe normally lined with relorion toeuid Siiring 'and said axle respectively willi llie line between saiicl tivo ooints sub eianinlly normal o the main spring, and' springe oppoeing the noveinen of seid lever in eilher direction.

4. ln combination willi the main. spring, axle, and perch of im zlulomobileT u lever biurcnierll at one end and located listrirle und directly pivomll),v connected. lo said perch and. the end of said main spring, li pair of springs cated end of seid lever and said erle and :i se1mrare'sp1ing acting between libe other end of'saicl lever and said axle enel ectingon said lever oppositcly to said pair of springs.

5. ln combination willi the mein Iepi-ing, axleu and perch of unl automobile, a lever having zi link porion which is clireclly pivo'enlly connected to the percl'i and lo lle main spring and. which isl subsanlially non noel to the main Spring., n spring line on said lever lo oppose the movement or eli-e enclin spring toward ille amil menne lirniiing elle moveinen ol Salicl lever occurm acting between the 'billenring upon reliioundy of the main Spring away from "alie axle.

(i. ln combination ivirli the niain spring and rile of n automobile, u lever directly pivoted to points nornnilly lixerl with reletion lo suini spring und enill :ile respectively with lie line beneen seid tivo poins Sub- Sun'ielly normal to 'the main spring, a. spring acting on Suid lever to opposev die movement o'i the main sgring owurcl the axle, and ineens for liniiring the movement of said lever occurring upon rebound ol' the main spring away from the axle.

T. ln combination willrtlie main spring, axle, and perch of an auioinobile, la lever b1- nreiltefl :it one enel incl/located zrsricle and directly pivonlly connected 'ro said percli and the enfl of Seial main springe acting between elle bifur'iecl -encl of said lever and seid axle. and means 'for limiting the mover-.lent of' seid lever'occur ring upon llie expansion oi Seial peil ol1V springs.

8. ln combinzilion 'with the main Sprine. axle, and perch ol' en outorncfoile7 e lever flireec'ly pivotelly connected ro seid perch :incl the encl of Seial man spring, n spring beween seid. lever and elle er; e lo oppose the movemen. of lie lever which occurs when the main spring enel mile nre forced logetlier, :incl e eeparaie spring acting between seid. lever and the axle nil opposing the niovenienl of said lever wliicli occurs when the mein spring sind eine seperate.

9. ln combination willi the mein spring and spring support of encomiabile, zr lever having un intermeriiee Qorion arranged 'for pivolnl connection al the ends lli-creol o seid mein spring and 'lo Seial spring supporre unil also having wo portions; projecting in olil ferent (lirectione ifroin Seial inrernieclielie poreionfl in conibine'lion 'willi springe er rnngefl to acl: on said :two proglecing lportions.
